Australia's government has accused the Islamic State group of using foreign fighters as "cannon fodder."

Australian Attorney General George Brandis said in a report in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday that the number of Australians killed while fighting alongside militants in Syria and Iraq has risen in recent weeks to 20. Australia had previously put the death toll at 15.
